The Little Book of Synology DSM

FOR DSM 7.2, UPDATED FEBRUARY 2025 With superb functionality and ease of use through the acclaimed DSM operating system, Synology DiskStations are the NAS devices of choice for the discerning purchaser. Whether it is the storage and sharing of information, the streaming of videos, music and photos to computers and smart devices using Plex, or the ability to have a private cloud that allows access to information from anywhere, the DiskStation can do it. But this power and flexibility comes at a price and setting up a DiskStation for the very first time can seem a daunting prospect, especially as it is not supplied with a manual. This guide, based around the latest version of DSM and with over 180 illustrations, easy-to-follow instructions and based on years of real-world experience, will take you through it from start to finish and help ensure that your network is a success. It is a streamlined or ‘lite’ version of the popular and highly regarded CTACS Synology NAS Setup Guide for Home & Small Business, with some of the more advanced topics removed. If you just want to be up and running as quickly as possible, this guide is for you. If you require more information or are an advanced or business user, you might prefer the full version.
